If you're a fan of the inner workings of Hollywood, then check out my podcast, The Town on the Ringer Podcast Network.

My name is Matt Bellany. I'm founding partner at Puck and the writer of the What I'm Hearing newsletter.

And with my show, The Town, I bring you the inside conversation about money and power in

Hollywood. Every week we've got three short episodes featuring real Hollywood insiders

to tell you what people in town are actually talking about. We'll cover everything from why your favorite show was

canceled overnight. Which streamer is on the brink of collapse and which

executives on the hot seat. Disney, Netflix, who's up, down, and who will never

eat lunch in this town again?

Follow the town on Spotify or wherever you get your podcast. Hello and welcome to this late summer edition of group chat I am Justin

Barrier and joining me as always straight from the beaches of Italy?

Where were you, Big Waz?

I did not hit the beach in Italy,

but I did spend four days in Rome, one night in Florence, and from there went to Barcelona did the beaches over there

at Barcelona and also went to Seagis which is like 15 miles outside of the city, nice little private beach.

South of the people at the little beach house, Soho little Beach house in Seagis, Spain, you know, a little town pretty adjacent to Barcelona had a great time.

Lots of tapas, lots of pasta,

almatra china, lots of cada,

almatra china, lots of cada bonada, lots of all of that. My new name, they say my new name is

Kugino Wasnio, so you know. What does that mean? Cousin Waz, yeah.

So yeah, just had a great time, man, spent, you know, close to two weeks out, out in Spain and Italy, just dope people.
